When the NFL announced in June that the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders would be meeting in a preseason game this year in Winnipeg, it was viewed a curious move.
Two months later, the lack of ticket sales for the game appear to indicate that local interest in the game isn’t that high.
Either that, or it’s the wild ticket prices.
According to Carter Brooks of Game On Magazine, only 8,944 tickets have been sold as of Wednesday afternoon. Even for IG Field’s 33,000-seat venue, that’s small — as in, it’s at 27 percent capacity right now.
